I need somewhere to order big amounts of cheap guinea pig bedding. I tried using fleece,towels,newspaper etc but they just continue to smell and are a pain. I prefer using aspen, woodchips or some kind of bedding. I have a big (2x5 foot) cage with 3 guinea pigs. Bedding from the pet store for an appropriate size costs $20. That's like $20 a week! Way too expensive. Is there any farms or websites you know that sell CHEAP bedding? PLEASE help.
On amazon, they have really cheap bedding. Just search guinea pig bedding, and something along the lines of aspen bedding, 8 cubic feet will be there. (the picture looks like a big brown paper bagish thing.) It lasts, like, 4 months. :)
You can get hardwood stove pellets. I get 40 pound bags for $4 at menards. You can get them at other stores just make sure they don't have any accelerants. The only issue with pellets is they are hard on a guinea pigs feet. You will need to put hay or something soft over them or at the very least a soft bed to sleep in.
You can make your own bedding! Just go on YouTube and search how to make carefresh bedding and your set :)
3 guinea pigs is bound to stink, regardless of what bedding you use, you need to clean it atleast two times a week by that i mean change the bedding etc, and spot cleaning everyday.
